RE: RE: [xsl] Finding and processing index terms

My intention was not to stop anyone from replying, but to have you clarify your requirement.

My requirement is to find the indexterms that do not have ancestor elements of div* or table that that have a publicOnly setting of Yes. I think you missed the statement at the top that indicates my DTD provides a default value of No for the attribute publicOnly.

So here is a very simplified view of the content:

<doc>
       <div1>   <!-- publicOnly=No is the default -->
            <div2>   <!-- publicOnly= No is defaulted -->
                       <indexterm> <!-- I want to find this one -->
                <indexterm> <!-- I want to find this one -->

<table>  <tr><td> <indexterm> 

<table publicOnly='Yes'> <tr><td> <indexterm>  This XPath returns all 4 hits:

//indexterm[ancestor::*[(starts-with(local-name(),'div') or local-name()='table') and @publicOnly!='Yes']]

I was trying to find other variations of this XPath to see if I could get the results I wanted, they didn't solve the problem. So I'm looking for the correct XPath to find what I have marked above.

In reworking the example to add the defaults, it appears that this one actually solves the problem:

//indexterm[ancestor::*[(starts-with(local-name(),'div') or local-name()='table')][1][ @publicOnly!='Yes']]

In testing in the full document, it appeared as if the Default values were not being read from the DTD I had. I had left a previous test of setting publicOnly=yes on the div2 tag and was not getting the results I was expecting. In looking at the file this morning, I removed that and I'm getting whatI expect.

Sometimes the best debugger is trying to explain the problem to someone else ;-)

Let's parse your XPath expressions, I'll give my understanding of them.:

These were variations on the one in the template that I had, I explained what they found.

Anyway here is a new sample that provides the "defaulted values". In case anyone wants to play with this further.
